2012 NDP leadership convention

[Hash]

Draft Ruth Ellen.

[Hash]

I think 2003 Tory results were released by riding, so maybe they'll do likewise.

[Hash]

Topp slightly reminds me of Dominique de Villepin (only that he's not a criminal). That's not a good thing.

[Hash]

Ruth Ellen for leader, plz.

[Hash]

Ashton's cute but is way too young, so I suppose she's using this a la Manuel Valls to set herself up for latter years. I'm kind of surprised she jumped in.

[Hash]

308 is fine as long as he's just giving raw comments on polling data and not anything more. Once he gets into predictions and models, it's BS.

[Hash]

Yeah, a poll of 300 people of whom 150 or so expressed an opinion. Sounds like some great poll for sure.

[Hash]

Assuming I were an NDP member, I'd probably go:

1- Ashton, largely because she's good looking
2- Dewar
<gap>
3- Saganash
4- Cullen
5- Nash
6- Topp
7- Singh
8- Mulcair

[Hash]

Cool map!

Weird to see the MP for Joliette endorsing Ashton along with a few others.

[Hash]

It seems as if Mulcair's wife was only a UMP list candidate for the AFE, which is a massive joke which nobody cares about. Mulcair being a dual citizen and facing all this retarded Canadian nationalist faux outrage makes me much more likely to support him.

[Hash]

And THAT my friends, is the EXACT attitude I was referring to when I said the NDP has an attitude in it that makes people want to leave.

Yeah! Parties should mean absolutely nothing and lack any ideological consistency! Wooh!

Well, he is a Liberal supporter. That is a pretty accurate description of the party in the last years.

Oh come on. I'm a Liberal and I'd have a hard time voting NDP, but I probably wouldn't vote for a Liberal who still opposes SSM and I disagree with the Liberals on a number of things like Senate reform. And there are tons of (mostly ex-) Liberal MPs who were right-wing wastes of sperms and who I would never vote for.

[Hash]

Harper looks like a full bilingual compared to Dewar. That's too bad.

[Hash]

What is the process and all that jazz? I know the CBC has coverage tomorrow, and I want to watch it a bit, but what is the best time to catch the real action (results)?

[Hash]

Mulcair 30.3% vs Topp 21.4% vs Cullen 16.4% vs Nash 12.8% vs Dewar 7.5% vs Singh 5.9% vs Ashton 5.7%

[Hash]

Seems underwhelming for Tommy, but I guess he'll end up winning

[Hash]

Gosh, Niki Ashton's platitudes about "new politics" is more annoying than Mittbot's speeches.

[Hash]

Dewar is dropping out too.

And Mitt Romney has better French than Paul Dewar.

[Hash]

And Nash is staying put. When do we get the next ballot? 11?

[Hash]

Charlie Angus is backing Mulcair (and doesn't seem all that enthused about it).

[Hash]

Why is James Moore creeping at the NDP convention, besides trolling? The Purgatories are scary people.

What a douche.

[Hash]

What a bunch of incompetent nincompoops.

[Hash]

Mulcair 38.3
Topp 25
Cullen 19.9
Nash 16.8

Nash eliminated, Cullen's performance is underwhelming, Mulcair faces some pretty stiff resistance. Go Topp!

[Hash]

lol ndp. What a bunch of amateurish incompetent nincompoops. I go and destroy my legs for 3 hours and they're still voting for another hour? Sounds like an African election.

[Hash]

Mulcair 43.8% vs Topp 31.6% vs Cullen 24.6%

[Hash]

Maybe the NDP can be competent in handling this final ballot and not useless jokes.
